Location

What’s nearby

The Fife Coastal Path runs right past the sailing club, with a scenic stretch heading towards St Bridget’s Kirk and views over to Inchcolm Island and the Forth bridges. Dalgety Bay itself is quiet and residential, but Dunfermline is a short drive away if you want to make a full day of it.

From my visit

Is the water close to the sauna?

It's not right at the door, but close. From the sauna, it's a short walk down a slipway to reach the water.
